but erin, let's stop playing the blame game. stephen moore wants to blame the president and a lot of democrats want to blame republicans, but the whole idea is this whole sequester came out of the summer of 2011, when the republicans were just about to demand that the -- in exchange for raising the debt limit, that the united states would not otherwise be able to pay its bills. the republicans were threatening a default. and the president said, look, instead of a the default, that would be a disaster. our rating is already under assault, our credit rating, let's have some terrible kind of fallback that nobody's going to want, to force us into a deal. so, let's stop playing the blame game. the issue here it seems to me that we are right up against a terrible, terrible wall, and everybody, everybody agrees it's bad. why don't oyou just have an agreement with regard to when the timetable is going to be and wait until unemployment gets down to 6% before you pull the austerity plug. >> bob, that could be ten years from now. here's th

i first want to go to erin mcpike, in kansas city. erin, how are things looking out there? >> reporter: actually, brooke, the storm has stopped and the roads are actually clear. and i want to show you this. we're actually at the time where we can see lovely sludge, yuck. so that -- that means it is time for the cleanup to start and kansas city's mayor estimates with last week's snowstorm cost the city about $2 million. they think that this week's snowstorm will cost just a little bit more because it is heavier snow, and that means more trees have come down. but by and large, brooke, people we have talked to here are actually very happy about this snowstorm because this is really dry, this area here. it is the third consecutive year of a drought. and this snowstorm has brought much needed moisture, brooke. >> okay, so we have some sludge and moisture in kansas city. thank you, erin. ted rowlands, to you in chicago. never fun. cancellations, flights at o'hare. tell me, give it to me straight, what is the current situation? >> reporter: 230 flights, that's straight up, brooke.

i'm erin burnett. american embassy attacked. a suicide bomber struck at a security checkpoint at the american embassy in turkey today, and this time the white house immediately labeled it an act of terror. >> a suicide bombing on the perimeter of an embassy is by definition an act of terror, a terrorist attack. however, we do not know at this point who is responsible or the motivations behind the attack. the attack itself is clearly an act of terror. >> an act of terror regardless of who is responsible or what their motivations are. more on that in a moment, but first, chris lawrence at the pentagon. chris, the turkish government says it does have a bit more sense of who the attacker was, what are they saying? >> reporter: erin, they think it is a man named etchvech shamly. they say he trained in europe on how to make bombs and has attacked before. the group is a throwback to the cold war, a far left revolutionary group that wants to overthrow turkey's government and establish some sort of communist state. >> and why would they

with us today is erin schakowsky. she has been a clinical nurse in baltimore. she spent the past 10 years coordinating the research to replace a disk to stop patients from suffering from crippling neck and back pain. she recognized she suffered from the very condition that her work aimed to treat. on her days off, erin would spend days at her daughter's lacrosse tournament barely able to move and then would have to go home and spend most of her time there with an ice pack on her neck. she went in for surgery and got the new disks replacements. she is with us today and thankfully on the mend. the new medical device tax in obamacare makes it harder for researchers to develop those innovative devices in the united states and makes it harder for patients like erin to get the care they need. obamacare unnecessarily raised the cost of our health care, even those with pre-existing conditions could get the coverage they need without a trillion dollar government program costing all of us more. and that's only the tip of the iceberg when we talk about health care reform.

>> not really, erin. my interactions with him started back in 2011 at the world track and field championships in south korea. i immediately discovered a guy who was incredibly inspiring. he was driven to succeed on the track and try and make history. but i never saw anything, this entire story to me is just unbelievable. the guy that i got to know covering in south korea and london is not even equating to these circumstances that i'm hearing. >> let me ask about something in court. he was crying, he completely broke down today and he did in the first hearing. does his grief seem genuine to you? i know that's a very hard thing to judge but this is a man you know. >> it's hard to get in his head from this far away, not knowing really all the circumstances which i think will continue to be revealed in this sad story. but the guy that i discovered on the track, especially in london where he fought so hard through the arbitration to have a chance to run against able-bodied athletes in the games, is emotional.
